Our talented Finishing Artist, Katie Kemp, graded never-before-seen footage to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11 for Brook Lapping’s new 90-minute documentary, 9/11: Life Under Attack.

All drives that are shipped around with production data on them should be encrypted. Especially when shipping rushes. Below is the most simple approach to dealing with drive encryption via software when hardware encryption isn’t available.

Every production requires a bespoke solution for editorial; whether they are located at home, in serviced offices, or in the production office, we need to take into consideration a number of variables such as internet speed and location, as well as the data management and security demands of the project. The fundamentals of our craft editing solutions are covered below. Contact our bookings team for pricing and additional information.

We are able to provide synchronous and asynchronous review during our finishing process. The asynchronous approach is preferred as it saves a lot of cost to production by having members of the team review and give feedback on their own time rather than having talent and equipment tied up during the process. It also gives the most reliable viewing experience regardless of internet and network challenges that can inhibit live review. The synchronous option is a great way to quickly spot check changes or adjust elements live when a finer level of control and feedback is required. Our review options are covered below. Contact our bookings team for pricing and information.

The team at EditShare interviewed me recently and you can find links to both interviews here. They also wrote this story about how The Finish Line came to be which I’ve included below.

This is a basic workflow or tips for ingesting media via DaVinci Resolve to be used externally in applications like Avid Media Composer. The goal of these steps isn’t to be the perfect workflow for all productions as we customise a lot of this for specific cameras and workflows but hopefully this will help any productions looking to manage their own media to do it in a way that should make the conform process more simple for us when the time comes for final post. If you need to talk to us about a specific project so we can create a more refined template please get in-touch.

This is a demo of automated ingest, cloud hosted viewing and editing from The Finish Line.

Now with a roster of clients ranging from boutique sizes to as big as Viacom – Can you give us some insight into the company’s history & how it has changed over the years?
